Fleeting cylindrical object over Saint-Loup-Lamairé in 1984

Summary

In February 1984, a driver and passenger near Saint-Loup-Lamairé watched a cylinder-shaped object with a flickering light streak across the sky for just three seconds. Both compared it to a javelin hurled at high speed. The description suggests a possible atmospheric entry, yet it was not matched to any known meteor or common phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case as B — no conventional explanation found. The sighting's brevity and lack of additional data limit analysis, but the unusual shape and consistent witness accounts keep it noteworthy.
